Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Mayor Nee stated that ihe Council has a very lenqthy agenda and that causes a problem
, in a public hearing because some people feel wE ought to move more quickl,y than we do,
and the Council feels that we G�ant to give everyone a chance to be heard and to express
any questions, beliefs, or convictions that they have. Mayor Nee said that these are
important questions for the neighborhood, and the Council wants everyone to have a
chance to put their comments into the record.
PUBLIC NEARTNGS:
PUBLIC HEARING ON FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ST. 1975-1 AND
ST. 1975-2:
f The Public Works Director stated he had a coupte of aeneral comments to make. 7he
i overall costs came in be]ow the preliminary assessments. The final construction costs
are $14.�0 per lineal foot on a normal residential streefi. Any additions associated
with State Aid Streets have been picked up by the State Aid Fund, and the residents
whose property abuts a wider street do not pay for the total vridth of that street;
just the normal street, the 36-foot width bacK-to-back street. �
�• ; Further, the improvements have been completed, and the City has accepted the streets
upon which there is a one year's maintenance bond to insure that the streets have been
constructed to City standards. The side yard assessments are $2.90 per foot.
�
�
�
Considerable discussion ensued concerning side-yard assessments, explanation of the
assessment formula,, and other matiers related to the assessment. The Council, the
audience, and property owners had questions asked and answered by the Co�ncil and the
fridley City Staff Members. The City Assessor explained and answered many questions
that were posed by the audience.
' Nancy Thomas, 851 West Moore Lake Orive, took issue with her assessment rate.
Mayor Nee said that if she desired to make a formal chal]enqe to it she should do so for
, the record. Nancy Thomas ihen sa9d that for the record she�did chailenae the assessment.

to Qonnay Rddition be continued until next week. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
Upon a voice vote, al1 voting aye, Mayor Ne� declared the motion carried unanimously.
William Kell, Jackson Street Northeast, questioned the curbing structures in that no
reinforcements (steel) were used. The Public Works Director explained that the practice
- has been discontinued because they have increased the amount of concrete in the
driveway sections. Instead of four inches of concrete there is now six inches of
concrete, but that the Department would check the matter o�t on the depth of the
concrete.
A citizen at 5675 Quincy Street also mentioned a driveway problem. AnQther person at
725 Bennet Drive said that his driveway was peeling, and the slab that the City took
out was in good condition.
Dona7d Milke said he had a driveway,that was too steep; the tail pipe of his car dra44ed
onto the street when he came down his driveway. The City Qoofed, he said, in that his

Gerald Adams on Monroe Street stated that he had a problem that was similar to
Donald`Milke's situation.
In quick order, several other citizens stated that they now had probiems with their
driveways. The problems ranged from peeling to washing away. (The City will check
these out.)
The next section to be discussed was the 61st Avenue, Rice Creek Drive, Woodside Court,
etc., area. There being no comments, the Public 4Jorks Director stated that in the
Great Northern Industrial plat, the front yard rate was 514.26 per foot, and the
side-yard assessments were $1.20 per foot.

that was previously tabled. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Uoon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING ON FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR WATER, SANITARY SEWER AND STORM SEWER
IMPROUEMENT PROJECT N0. 117:
Mayor Nee asked if there was anyone present from the area affiected. There was no
response.
The Public Works Director stated that the development was a new one, and the storm
sewer was constructed as the ��esult of an agreement with the developer, and all
credits have been given for previous storm sewer assessments against the property.
The final construction costs came in under the preliminary estimates.
The City Clerk said that the assessment roll was prepared on the basis that previous
assessments placed on the property were taken into consideration in arriving at the
$8.60 figure. This gives the gross rate, and this is spread over the property and
the previous assessment is subtracted. You don't necessarily end up with a uniform
rate throughout the project.
Mayor Nee asked if there were any comments or questions on this matter; there was no
response. �
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt that the Public Hearing be closed. Seconded by
Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously. .

The Public Works Director said that the Planning Commission held the Public Hearing and
� the matter was continued. The discussions ranqed cver a couple of ineetings on this
particular proposal, and on March 17, 1976, they recommended to the Council the
approvai of the plat with some stipulations. The basic stipulations were worked out
� with tfie developer. These concerned questions that the property owners and the �
Pianning Cammission had about the praposed development.
� Stipulations were made: (1} To provide easement for a public trail adjacent to the
neighborhood park. This is to assure public access around the park area that is
� presently dedicated. (2j Plans specifications are to be submitted to the City for
approval. (3j Off-street parking of 4.25 stalls on the fronting 24 foot streets.
` (4j The corporation will provide some legal documents which will notify the purchasers
i that for townhouses there are no noise abatement structures. (5) Other stipulations
i concerned trail development and lighting; a tennis court, and a tot lot.
� The City will require the standard performance bond; and the City and the development
corporation will work out an agreement for a solution to the extension of North
! Innsbruck Drive from the City limits of Fridley to the Silver Lake Road.

A reconanendation will come up in the next item, the Innsbruck Village Plat reqardinq
maintenance of North Innsbruck Drive.
The City could help Mr. Farr maintain the road. He wiTl provide a11 surface treat-
ment of the street until completion.of the two developments.
One of the problems was the plowing in the winter time. Our City maintenance people
could help plow, and the developer has agreed to reimburse the City on an annual basis.
The Public Works Director said there was an additional item. It was not a specific
stipulation, but it was a concern. The City wanted to add a stipulation that the
North Innsbruck Park dedication be provided for prior to a building permit beinq issued:
Mayor Nee asked for comments from the public, and A1 Nesser, of Danube Drive, said
ihat the Innsbruck Drive is close to the designed capacity, and he objects to the
combining of the North Innsbruck Road extension to Silver Lake Road.
7he Public Works Director said that he was aware of the problem, but the City doesn't
want to make improvements on a temporary situation. The proposal before us is a
reduction in the density that was previously approved. The City has a traffic study
from a cnnsultant engineer which indicates that once the road is improved to the
Silver Lake Road there wiil be no problem. The department has been workinq with the
residents and the Director to answer questions antl problems of the area residents.
Unfortunately, we must live with a temporary situation. The City hates to beqin with
improvements when in a year or two there might be a different alignment.
Mr. Farr stated that he had worked out an agreement �•fhereby the corporation would
maintain the road. We promised at the March 17th meeting to patch the road, and we
patched it twice and it is in reasonable condition.
If there is some situation that �ve can a�ork out with the City and have it charqed back,
that is no problem. Whatever kind of a guarantee, we are willing to perform.
The City Manager said that the concern shown by the property owners is valid. There
' is a problem near the intersection. The roadway should be widened, at least the outgoing
lane, to more than one lane. The City could require a bond which will provide for
the number of years for which he wou7d pay the maintenan�e costs to the City. We
can maintain it, patch it, and snowplow it, better than he can; as we are better
equipped.
! 7he City needs to work out the detai7s with the developer so this devetopment has a
i good, passable road to Siluer Lake Road, and has a better intersection to the road,
' This could be in the form of a minimum guarantee that we cou]d give to the neighborhood,
. and in turn the City would want some kind of money for it.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Farr if that was agreeable in principle, and P•1r. Farr said yes.
The Mayor further stated that if the City can make an accommod�ion on the road, it
wouid be less than what some of the citizens are asking for. It would be a reasonably
, satisfactory solution that would be aimed for, not an ideal one.
Mr. Farr remarked that, to put it mild7y, everyone knows that with the depression that
has been going on in the housing industry in the last two years, he was probably $50
from invok�ng Chapter 11. He just about lost all the money that he had.
The Public Works Director staied that at the end of the project we would have the
New Brighton area to improve. We do not know how far into the future we can mandate
that the developer maintain that roadway. The recommendation from the Planning
� Commission was the last townhouse.
j The City Manager said that any agreement that we may have with Mr. Farr we hope wilT
be binding on him or anybody else who owns the properiy. ,
MOTIQN by Councilman Starwalt to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously and the pubiic hearing closed at 9:45 P.M.

CONSIDERaTION OF TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT OF 100 UNITS, T#76-02, BY DARREL A. FARR
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, FOR INNSBRUCK VILLAGE
RECEIVING PETITTON �{6-7976 -- TO CONDITION ACCEPTANCE/APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PRELIMINARY
PLAT, P.S. �76-02, IIVNSBRUCK VTLLAGE ADDITION, BY DARREL A. FARR DEUELOPMENT CORPO-
s SUBUIVISION N0. 92, ALL LYING IN SECTION 24
ANOKA, h1INNESOTA ... INCLUDINf THE REOUEST
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik that the reading be waived. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, ali voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
The Public Works Director said this was a townhouse project by Darrel Farr to construct
townl�ouses t� be located North of Innsbruck Driv�, and North of Y.he previously
discussed townhouse development.
This has been previously approved for 251 units, but what is proposed here toniqht
is the construction and developinent of 100 townhouse units.
The plat that is being proposed tonight is somewhat different than the previous
proposal in that it is requested that a public roadway be constructed throuqh the
center of the proposed development.
, Again, the Planning Commission has held public hearings on the proposal, and in this
� case there were three different meetings together with meetinc�s on the sub-committee
level to get some input into the proposal.
The Planning Commission recommended at their April 7, 1916, meeting the approval of
the proposed plat �vith a number of stipulations which are listed in the Agenda.
This is from the unofficial Planning Commission minutes as supplied with the Agenda,
A few citizens then said that they were not notified of that last Planning Commission
Meeting. They would have been there if they had known about it.
' The Public Works Director stated that once the official notice of the March 3, 1976,
meeting had been published in the paper a notice would not be mailed out for any
continuation of that meeting.
` The City Manager stated that the Planning Commission only recommends ta the City
Council, and if there is any input that one didn't get in ta the Planning Commission;
this is an opportune time to get it into the record. If the Council feels that they
' haven't enough information; the Council can, and does, have the prerogative of con-.
� tinuing the meeting to the next regular meeting. If there was something you didn't''
get into the Planning Commission, now would be a proper time to get your comments
to ihe Council.
In respo�se to a citizen's question, the mayor said that the petition had been received
by the Planning Commission and there had been discussion on it and that Chairman Harrls
had read the petition.
Mayor Nee asked that the recommendations be put into the record:
I. "That the City of Fridley in consideration of its tax paying residents,estab-
lish standards of year-round maintenance for the North Tnnsbruck Drive Extension
` (that section of black top road beginning at the Black Forest Apartments,
and running East to Silver Lake Road), and that said developer (Darrel A< Farr
Development Corporation) shall file a suitable performance bond with the City
� of Fridley, which shall be renewed annually, and shali be adequate to properiy
� maintain said road through eompletion of construction activities in the
Innsbruck North Addition." •
�
' II. "That the City of Fridley disaliow waiving the City Setback Ordinance in the
above referenced area on the grounds that it would be discriminatory; that
it would create an unsafe condition due to a minimum of two blind spots on the ,
; proposed City Maintained Road connecting North Tnnsbruck Drive to Authur Street;
� �

,
�

PUBLIC NEARING MEETING OF APRIL 12, 1976 PAGE 5
that due to the narrowness of this Ciiy Maintained Road, and in vfew of assumed
parallel parking on both sides of this•road, it will prove to be a major hinderance
to Fire and/or Police emergency vehicies access; and as a result of garage/dwelling
structures close approximation to the road itself, prove to seriously inhibit
adequate snow plowing of road surfaces, short of truck removal from the immediate
area, at City expense."
III. "7hat the City of Fridley obtain from the Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation
an official and acceptable understanding as to quad-townhouse homeowners financial
responsibilities for maintaining al] non-City Maintained Roads in the above
referenced area, as well as the upkeep of townhouse exteriors and common qrounds."
The Public Works Director stated that at the April 7, 1976, meeting the Planninq
Commission did recommend to the Council the approval of the plat with a number of
stipulations, and that he wi�ll go through them:
1. Plans specifications for streets and utilities are to be submitted to the City for
approval.
2. The developer deed to ihe City the Innsbruck North Park before any plat approval or
building permits are issued.
3. The part of Lot 49, except the Westerly 210', the Auditor's Subdivision No. 92
that wasn't part of the plat be dedicated to the City as this was adjacent to
Irtnsbruck North Park.
4. 7he tennis courts will be built by the developer on public park property, the
location to be decided by the City with the completion of 20 townhouses in
Innsbruck Village.
5. The road design on West Bavarian Pass must meet with City approval.
6. This was a negotiaied item with the developer. The City w�uld want a 36 foot
width street, parking on both sides and with proper access. There was some concern
expressed at the Planning Commission, and with the Environmentai Quality Commis-
ion, regarding the green space adjacent to the proposed roadavay. A thouqht that
came up was perhaps it could be done with the reduction in the.street width, but
we wanted to insure the proper visibility along the area; that we would not qet
into a situation where we would have parking on both sides and conaest the area,
and we arrived at a 31 foot width street with no parking on the inside lane.
7. The minimum setback for any garage on 4dest Bavarian Pass shall be five feet, with
one garage being approximate7y ten feet from the property line so that a 200 foot
sight distance is maintained on the curb.
8. An additional stipulation concerned the pedestrians in the area as it relates to
North Innsbruck, and that is that the developer agrees to provide a seven-foot
foot path para17e1 to the existing extension.
The petition that was received at the Plannina Commission, outlining the basic concerns
of the residents in the single family area and in the townhouse area that signed the
petition, mentioned three areas of concern: (1) They wanted some assurance that the
North Innsbruck Drive extension would be maintained. (2) A second area was that the
City should disalTow the waiving of the City setback ordinance. The narrowness of
the public roadway then would create hindrances to emergency vehicles, snow plowing,
and blind spots. This, I believe has been worked out, with a 31 foot roadway, no
parking on the West side, and the setback stipulation. (3) The third point was to
obtain from the Farr Development Corporation an understanding as to the townhouse
owner's responsibility for maintaining the non-city roads and the maintenance of
townhouse exteriors and common r,rounds.
The Public Works Director said that if there are any additional comments that now is
the time to make them.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to receive Petition #6-1976. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion earried
unanimously.

The City Manager expressed a desire that there should be more green space, and that '
perhaps more off-street parking couTd.be obtained. There could be eventuaTly a i
condition where there would be substantial parking on the�street. Ne is not so concerned

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 12, 1976
about the private roads as with the public roads.
Mayor Nee declared that a recess would be taken,
PA6E 6 !
(At 10:20 P.M. the Council took a recess.)
{Council reconvened at 10:38 �.M.) (All members were present.)
Mayor Nee said that at the time of recess they were on the question of a setback in
the North Innsbruck area, and the material question is tivhether or not the Council
chooses to approve that kind of a setback. The Mayor thou�ht rather than aettina
into a legalistic argument on the matter that what ou�ht to be talked about is
whether it is an acceptable idea.
(The City Attorney returns at 10:41 P.M.)
. Gary Samuel spoke about the setbacks. He said he has lived there and that he adamantly
opposes the granting of a setback and the shoving,in of a bunch of low income housinq
into a smaller area.
Various other residents voiced their dissatisfaction r�ith chan�inn the setback. They
baught their property with one view in mind as to the location and that Mr. Farr is
now aticempting to shove all kinds of units in and channin� the pattern: There was
considerable discussion on where, and how, the location of "low cost" homes would be '
and the affect on the pre-existin� houses that would be adjacent to them if buildina
was permitted.
Considerable discussion ensued among the citizens in ex�ressinn their views on density
of housing, cluster housing, and other issues. P1r. Farr en�aned in the discussi�r.
The Public Works Director su�nested that it might be in order to continue the hearin�
, because of the additional comments that have been received and that the administration
; then could pet to�ether with Mr. Farr and brin� back the results of that meetinn
later an.

There was considerable discussion regarding Sections 5.03, 5.05 and 5.06, and the
Council felt there was a need for some clarification of the wording and intent of the
Charter Commission.
Another area of discussion centered on the orintinn of the bud�et for the City.

that respect, the City does have an obligati.on.
Mrs. Sporre said the Environmental Quality Commission has

stand that there are very many problems involved. We are
concerned abou� the aesthetic beauadd�essin�.R15he said they
the

were a_lso concerned about the safety of East River Road, and
that was of paramount concern. Traffic problems would be

understood this was a necessary stop-gap, and therefore she
' would recommend that the Planning Commission approve this

Mrs. Gable said that she agreed ���ith Mrs. Sporre. She �aid
that sh� persona.11y c�id no-L- like to see another billboaxd go up,

Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 197G Pa�e 12 , 3 C
•.Chairman Harris said there were several concerns that were •
mentioned at the last Planning Commission meeting, and questions
were asked of the Darrel Farr Development Cc�rporation and of the
City staff. He said that there was a memorandum from Darrel Farr
and the City's answer to that memorandum, plus the answers to
questions asked of the�City staff that were given to the Planning
Commission just prior to this meeting.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Com-
mission receive the Darrel Farr Memorandum, plus the memo to Dick
Sobiech from Jerrold Boardman dated March Z6, 197F• Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
� � Chairman Harris said the first concern was that the stree�s
did not meet the City sPecifications. The Darrel Farr memorandum
states on streets: 1. The City of Fridley is the grantee under
the road easement from the Fridl�y line across New Brighton to
� the Silver Lake F'.oad. (Paragraph 3, Page 2, Development A�~'eement
dated February l, 1971) a. The taxes being paid on the townhouses
presently in place in the Black Forest is in the area of $200,000
� exclusive of single-family houses. b. It seems reasonable that
Fridley should maintain and plow North Innsbruck Drive until such
time as the pern►anentroad is constructed. 2. The road from the
� Fridley line to SiZver Lake Road was built according to City
specifications and with the City's apgroval. (Paragraph 4, Page
3, of the Development Agr�ement.) •
'
�
,
'
,
�
�
'
Chairman Harris said that the City staff's reply to these tv�o
-items was the following: l. & 2. The City should not, at this
time, take over the maintenance of the road easement from the
City line to Silver Lake Road. This road is the primary �ntrance
and exit for al1 construction vehicles and should be the responsi-
bility of the developer so long as development is still occurring.
Agreements for this maintenance should be drawn up as a stipula-
tion for plat approval. At that time wh�n construction is com-
plete, and if New Brighton has not firmed up road development in
this area, the City could consider take over of the maintenance
of this road if the developer would insure that the road is brought
up to City standards.
Mr. James Druck gave the Planning Commission a copy of the
Development Agreement. -
Chairman Harris said that item 3 under streets in the Darrel
� Farr memo states: 3. The Development Agreement sets out on
Paragraph 5, Page 3, that all streets and utilities in the town-
house area shall be approved by.the City of Fridley. Mr. Board-
man's answer to that was "The streets and ultities in the Townhouse
Association property}1��� been constructed to specifications ap-
proved by the City. There should be no additional burden to the
Association for repair or maintenance over that of a normal resi-
dential street. Ali:hough the width of the private streets are
not necessarily the same as a residential street for public use, ;
they were approved by the City." Number 4 in the Darrel I'arr memo
states: 4. As regards street repair for construction traffic

in Addii�ion 4 and 5, the following: a. West Bavarian Pass was
designed with f.uture construction traific in mincl..and as such
is a nine ton road consisting of a 4 1/2" asphalt and a l 1/2°
wear course. b. nithough we will l�e using both �9est Bavarian
Pass and Meister Road for const'ruction traffic, we will, to the
best of our ability, restrict heavy vchicles to [�1est Bavarian
Pass. c. We will escrow $10,000 at the start of construction
with the Homeowner's Association toranply to resurfacing or
repair of e�;isting streets. This will be treated as a prepay-
ment of fees required of the developer at the rai:e of $10.75
per month per lot. d. $10,000 should pay for a 2" overlay on
Meister Roaa and Wesi� Lavar.ian Pass. e. We will block �ast
IIavarian Pass from the end of the Vienna Townhomes to the Fifth
Addition during consL-ruction. f. We will patch the asphalt during
the construction period and ��,rill sweep the streets because of
construci=i��z r.�ud as neec�ed. This will be done at the developer's
expense. 5. The alf-street parYing in thc Fourth and I'iitli
Addition has been requested by the Cit.y and is sho�m on the plan.
b4r. Board:r.an's mer,o in tiis ar�s�;rer said in regard to numb�r 4.
We fec�1 tl�ie mecnorariclum covers the Assoc.iati_on's concei:n on street
x'e�air due to COAI:�truction traffic, and numbe-r 5. Off-strcet

P�ir. Farr said that in regard to his memo, they had met t-aith
the Board oi Dir. ec�Lors of t_he D;orth To��mhouse Association last
Friday night (Mar_ch 12, 1976), and we discussed all the street
proble�ns i�.z regard Lo the interior streets in the Assor_iation.

Presi�ent of the �1'ownhouse Association con�irmed Dir. Farr's
statement.
Mr. Pet=erson ��sl:ed i� the neg�ti.ve statements that were made

memo. Mr. Van ArI�e1 said the �����ciat.i.on�,,as not as concerned as
they had beeil abaut th� interior s�r�ets, but they were si�ill
' coiicerned auout the extension o.f No�_ th Innsbruc}c Drive bei��,Teen

Mr. Peterson as}:c�d Mr. I'arr how much �aork wou]_d be involved

rTr. Farr said l�e dic3n't know, but it would cost more money than he
would want to pay. Iie said tha�L ���hat the City menio was saying �vas
that the City shouldn't take. over the maintenancc of this r.oad at
this time. IIe said there caould have to be some new typc of agree-
meili� dra�an up ii l�c, as th� develoger, was expectc�d to maintain
that eatension road a� the prescnt time, becausc his obligation to
maintain that road had e�pired on February 18, 1976. Iie sai.d that
as this road needecl repair now, he i'elt he was under some obligation
to repair the roaci at this time. Mr. Peterson said that as Mr.
Farr was coming before the Planning Commission anc� the Ci.i:y Council
for new dev�lopnicnt in this aica, he caould be vc.r.y interested in
how the problcm oi this road being m�intained was going to be
handled before he had to votc on these proposals.

Mr. Farr said that he thought a reasonable alternative, and •
he hadn't discussed it with the City staff, was for us=to maintain the
road until such time as we complei�e construction, which was a
concession on our part, and for the City to plow this road in
th� winter, because he fclt this had been the biggest single problem.
The equipment that we have to plow the Black Forest was not larqe
enough to do an effective job. The equipment that the Townhouse
Association has was not large enough to do the job either. He
said th�-' City already plows North Innsbruck Drive, and for them
to plaw this additional 1300 feet between the City line and Silver
Lake Roac1 seemed a reasonable request, as this road was used by
Fridley residents. iie said that he was agreeable that they would
maintain the road until such time as the construction was completed
if the City caould plow the road in the winter time.
Mr. Bergman said the pot holes in this street extension were
getting deeper every day.
Mrs. Gahel said she was completFly confused on who was supposed
to be responsible for this road. Chairman Harris said that was
the crux of the problem. Thisstrest s�emed to be in limbo at
the �resent time. .
Mr. Harris said the Planning Commission had some,concerns
about the parking for the recreational building. Mr. Farr's memo
states: l. At the time of the planning and zoning, the City did
not wa»t to provide a lot of parking in the area of the recre-
ational building to preclude the use of the recreation buildir�g
for -L-hings unrelated to the Homeo�aners Associatio�, i.e., antique
sales, etc. 2, jae have urovided parlcing for approximately 27
cars at pr_esent. 3. We can provide an additional 20 car parking
on the east side of P�ieiste.r Road and south of the recr�ation build-
ing� a. This parking, because of the topoqraphical conditions,
would requiie the partial filling oi� �Lhe low area east of Prteister
Road and the dcstruction of a very large area of trees. Sae in-
tend to leave i�his decision to the Homeowner's Assoc�.a��.on. Mr.
Harris said the City staf.f was agreeable t�o these statements.
Mr. London said they had dicussed this with the Townhouse Assn.
also, and they will make this decision by April lst. Mr. Van Arkel
said that he felt this decision was up to the Townhouse Association
and ti�as betwe�n them and Mr. rarr. He didn`t think �his was up
to the City, and they wouldn't be involved in this decision. He
�aid that many people in the I�ssociation were izot in favor of the
destruction of a great number of i�rees i:o provide more parking.
Dir. Farr said they were prepared to put in an additional 20 parking
stalls ai: the Hom�owner's Assocation direction. �
Mr. liarris said that to back up, he asked Mr. Boardman what
' �. was meant in his memo about the maintenancc of the extension road
between the New IIrighton line and Silver Lake Road. Mr. Boardman
said that in the past, the City had a five year developm�nt .
' agreement with Darrel Farr on the maintenance of this extension.
He said tlie iilten� of that agreement would that the construction
would be enti.rely completed within these five years, and that by
1 that time a decisioii would have been madc� by New Brighton for
permanent road location.. This wasn't the way it happened, but

admini.stration £ecls that as construc�Li.on was sL-ill going on in .3 F
th� area, it shoulcl still Ue the responsiblity of the dcveloper
tb maintain this road, and any responsiblity the City might have
would be after thc construction was completed, if the road devel-
opmeni� plan hadn't been �irmed up by New Brighton at thai� i:ime.
He said the developer would still. be using this extension for
entrance and egress during thc devc�lo�ment of the property. He
s�id that when thc developer no longer owns property in this arca,
then he would then have no responsiblity in maintaining the road.
Mr. IIoar.dman said hc didn't believe that this extension road had
been constructed as a 9 ton road, and he didn't kriow if any inspec-
tions had every bccn done on it. He said it was put in late in
the fall, and by the ne�:t spring it was pretty e�ell broken up.
Mr_. Peterson said L-.hat Mr. Farr has stated that he would be
willing to maintain�this road during construction, if the City
would plo��� the street, because this had been inadequately done
because of the size of the equipment used in this development.
He as3:ed P�ir_ . Boardm«n i� he foresaw any problems �aith this �ro-
posal ii th� road ��.as maiiztaincd ir. sucll conclition that it could
be plowed. Nir. Bc�ardman saici this uaas a decision that� �aouJ_d have
to � be disc�ssed with the Public t^�orl:s Director and the City P�Sanac�cr.
Mr. Farr said this roac� `�las put in the day after Tnanksgiving,
� and they knew it was going to break up, but th4y had to have som�
way for the people to get in an out of the area in the �ainzer
time. He said it was r_esurfaced -the follo���ing spring.

Mr. Jim Lal:a:.�z��•�s?ci, �.536 South Obexlin Circle, said that as
far as hc COl1ZC2 uzic��rstanci, the Dzrr_el E'arr' s agrc�elrent �vas at
an end, and lt'=`cl�<< City of I'ridley`s turn to play the game �-�ith
this e�ai�ension. r�ir_ , Board:nan said that it �aas the intent of the
ae�re�mei�t that it �aou7�d be in effect until the construction ���as
comple-ted in this ai �a . Mr. Pe �erson said tlZat w�sn' t�aha � the
agreement :-aid< Hc said that most o� the City adminiszrai.ion tha�
taei�e her� i_n 197I are still �•�ith the City. Iie said the agreemei� t
was sign�d that this �aould expire in five years, and now they want
to change the r.ules af the game in the �ou.rtl-i quarter.
M�'. Druc]c said tha� Mr, rarr did not have any quarrel abaut
maintaining this roacl during construction, if in turn the City
w�uld agree to �low the street, becaus� of the size of equi.�.nent.
He said this would only be about 1/4 of a mile, and wi.th all the
strE�ets that Fridlcy plo�as now, this wouldn't seem like too much
of an additional burden. �
Mr. liarris asked if the Planning Commission wanted to go all
' through both memos Uefore any additional comments were m�.de. Mr.
Pei�erson said he didn't think there was much problem with th�
rest of t1z� memo. IIe said i.t scemed that the Homeowner's Assn.
' was satisfied with Mr. Farr's mcmo and the City staff was satisficd,
and therc was agrecment on everything e�:cept the extension r.oad of
North Innsbruck Drive. . '

up to the Fridlcy boundzry. At that point, it narrows appreciably ,
to a 24' street �ahich was curbless. He said this street merely
follows the natural terrain with hills and vales, including some
slippery spots. He said he thought the bottom slope carried
water across it, instead of being raised and having a culvert
running under the road. �ic said there caas quit� an amount of
pedestrian traffic with no place to walk exc�pt along the edge
of this curbless street which was presently poorly plowed. He
said that the statement in the staff inemo on this extension could
mean t11at any actual improvement on this street could be ten years
away. iie said that. with the increased density that will occur
with the completion of this densi�Ly will make this pr_oblem g�t
worse instead of better. He said he was concerned because we
were discussing stop gap measures instead of addressing the real
problem. ' �
Mr. Harris asked
future to have this
it was. He sai3 the
end of the improved
gra�el pit where it
if it was the intent that at some time in the
road corinect to Palmer Drive? Mr. Lond.�n said
road would then start to curve right at the
Nortn Innsbruck Drive, and then around the
would tie into Palmer Drive. _:_. :
Mr. Peterson asked i.f the easemen�L had already been given for
this proposed road. Mr. London said that at the time this road
proposal was approved, they o�aned that property, but he didn't
think there was an easement now. Mr. Boardman said that road
pai.tern ��oul.d be �-�ar}ced out when the property was developed in
New Bright:on. Mr. Petersan said then the only property that
was under the control of Frid:ley �aas tlle qr��nted easement for
the e:xtensipn of Nort.h Innsbrucic Drive to Si]_ver La}:e Road, so
that's what they should be concerned with and riot pie in the sky
at sam� period in time tlZat could b� quite far into the future.
Asr. Farr said that at the -cime these developments were planned
in Fridleyr they had also planned 1,000 units in New Brighton.
The traffic stu.dy th�y had done, using the new street proposals
did show that this area would not have any tr�ffic problems with
that street plan. He said tlzat if he still o��aned the property
in New 33righton, he would hurry up and build this road. I3e did
feel tl�ai� if the extension road was really maintained, that peopl�
wouldn't b� quite so upsei� with this road.
Mrs. B. J. E�aers, said that she felt this 24' street was too
narrow for two cars to pass now, and she didn't care what any
traffic study said, sh� felt there had to bc an answer to th� traffic
problem that e�isted today.
Mr. Stephen Tollison, 5538 Meister Road, said there was a
, question raised at the las� meeting about the people in the
townhouses paying the same taxes as people wlio 7_ive on public
roads and have their streets maintained and plowed, as opposed
' to people who have private roads, and bear all these cosi�s themselves.
Mr..Boardman said that taxation was bas�d solcly on va].uation of
property, and not on services provided. (Several people in the
' audieiice toak exception to this statement and said it was contrary •
to what they had becn told by the Asssessor).

Mr. Harr.is then procceded to read all the answers in the
stafi mcmo which had beeii directed to them at the last meeting.
1. The street specification is answered under I(3) of the
mc�morandum. To date tlier.e has been no parking problem related
to cmcrgency vehicle operation that we are aware of in the
l�ssociation property. If this does become the case, it is
anticipatecl thaL- 'no par}:ing; signs could be located where
needed. 2. Taxati.oii is based solely on valuation of �roperty,
and not on services provided. The City will not: take over the
maini:enai�ce oi the street� in the Townhouse Association. The
roaas do not ineet right of way, setbac}� and width requirements
foi public str_�c�ts and any ta)ce over wou].d set a precedence
foi the maiiztenance for other private dc�Tel�pments. 3. The
City of N�w Brigh�on wi]_1 not ta},e any positive action on road
construction until the-property is developed. They have been
granted a State Aid connection when final loca�ion is decided
upon.

Mr. Peter �on said tl�at hc spo);e in favor of the motion, but
he had some c�uestions and onc of tlz� qucstions he had was what
was fairfor the Darrel rarr Corporation Uecause he felt that
he had come to this meetinc� with a good proposal, and he had
ti.ied to >>e agreeable. I�e said he was surc that AZr. I'�rr had
a�o objec�tion to mecting �oith tl�e City in terms of looking at the

he woul.d be wi1].ing to �:ay to rc��air tlze road. He said that before
we make a mot�.on li.}:e i:liis, ]ie t.hou��ht some assurancc should be
given to ML. rar.r that we concur witli his rec,uest for development.
�Mi�. 8ergman explained his motion, and said he wasn't too con•cerned
an �calio f ixed tl�is ro�d, just so that it got done . H.� said that if
Darrel Farr di.dn't want to fix the road without assurance tha� his

' pot holes. Mr. i3oardman said that h�.didn't know if the City '
ac�minist-ration could take some action on this wii�hout Council
action� and the ner.t Council meeting was April 5th. IIe said a
resolution took Council action, it wasn't a decision that could
' be�made by the administration.
�

��
Mr. I'arr said that if they could get asphalt they would patch
that road right away. Mr. Aergman said he would appreciate that.
Mr. Harris said then there was no need for a resolution to have
the City go out and patch the road.
Mr. Bergman said that on the basis that Darre] Farr would patch
the pot holes, he would WITHVRAW HIS h10TION. Mrs. Gabe.Z withdrew
her second. '
Mrs. Sporre asked who was going to plow the snow. Mr. Bergman
said wheri he made the firsL- motion, he };neG•� �h�re were many other
probleins i�.o be addressed.
� Mr. Bergman said he didn`t thinlc the question of the extension
' of North Tnnsbruck Dr_ive had been answered as had been requested
at ihe last meeting. Mr. Boardman said he thought that it had.
He said there were two positions on this street, the City administr�;-�.
' tion's and Darrel Farr's. He said th � Planning Commission should
make a recommendatian on ho�e this conflict cou�_d be resolved, but
it was a Council decisian. He said there would have �to be a new
' agreement worJced ou�L on this Nor�rh Innsbruck Drive exte�lsion. He
said that City administration could not say hova it was going to
be handled. It was not their decision to make.
' Mr. Bergman said that it seemed that if a developer says a
street was goinq to be public, then it had to meet certain
guidelines, but if a developer says a s�Lre�� was going to k�e
' privai:e, t�h�n it was no longer treat�d ���ith the same guidelines
or rcqui�: ��m�nts , and he r_ouldn' t undez stand why this shou7_d be .
Mr. Boardman said that the streets in a p-rivate d�veiopmcnt have
' to m�et specifications approved by the City. 6•dhen w� talk about
City specifications for s�rcets in publ.ic. areas ��� are talking
about the required street width, the right of ways and setback
requir�ments. He said there was a public responsibil_ity tlz�
' City had on public roads. Str�ets in a private area wer_e no
longer a public responsiblity was no longer in effect at the
City level. This was the reason why although wc apprave the
� , specifications for the construction of the roads as to mat and
base, the street widths can vary for a priva�.e developmen.t.
'

C
D4r. Scott said he thought it should llave been outlined clearly
what streets were the responsiblity of the City, wha� streets were
the responsiblity of the developer, and what streets were the
responsiblity of the Townhousc Association. He said he felt that
tlie extension road from the Fridley line to Silver Lake Road had
been badly bungled by i�he City, and because they had bungled in
in putting a five yc�ar agreement on the maintenarice of this road
which•has now expired and the developm�nt of the area was not
completed, he felt it was the City's responsiblity to see that
Fridley residents had a safe exit and entrance to North Innsbruck

Mr. Terry �9iley, 5571 East Bavarian Pass, voiced his concerns

stated that L.au= � i;ava!-ian Pass �-rould b� closec� during cons-L-ructio:i

Mr. Ilar_ris askecZ NIr. London if ther� was anythin.g that could
be done to eliinin3t.e thc bottlen�ck �to Dl�ister Rcad? Mr. London
said that �ast Bavar.ian Pass had been approved at the ti.me of
the Vienna To�-anliouse proposal. F�e said that the reason the t�vo
garages 50' fLOm A1ei.ster Road �acre se�t so close to i�his road was
b�cause o�C the i�oi�oc�raphy of the area. r9r. Boardman said the
Soutliern elit bff East Bavarian Pass �,as quite stcep, and if
this exi_t wasn't so steep, some of the traffic could go this way
to 1�Zeistei Road. I-Ie said the Ci�ty would like to see two good
exits from East Bavarian Pass.
Mr. Wiley asked ii there couldn't be another access that
� would join up witli the service drive for the Heri�tage of Innsbruck
Nursinc� Flomc? Mr. London said the prol�lem with trying to li�ve
an acccs� in this location was that �ae would 1�c� talking al�oui:

MOTION by 5cott, seconded b� Peterson, that the Planning
Commi_ssion close the Public Ilearing on Innsbruck North Townhouse

vote, a11 votii�c� aye, Chairman Harris declarecl the PubZic Nearing
closed at 11:05 P.1�. �

Mr.. Peterson asked if there was any way that the 24' road
that was the extension of North Innsbruck Drive could be widened.
Could the City obtain a larg�r eas�ment so this could be widened �
to at least 36 feet? Mr. London said the City had a 66' easement
for this road. 1�1r. Peterson said they had been under the imPression
that thi.s v�as only a 24' easement. He said that this made a lot
of difference hecause there was room to widen this street and
even put in sidewalks.
Nr. P�terson raised a point of information, and asked Cha_irman
Harris what action they could i:.ake on this plat. njr. Harris said
they could recoru�lend app��ova1 of the pZat �aa_th stipulations, or
they could ma}ce a recommendatioi� for a resolution an particular
problems.
Mr. Peter�on said he �a�s still in svmpathy vaith AZr_. Farr "in
developing this plat, but becaus� of the discussion we have had
on the 15C0 feet of unsa�e road, and the fact that �ae i�ow find
that the City has a.66 ft. easement for this road, he would Ii)�e
to see: some �ype of resoltition that ��.ould express i�Ize concern
of the nlanning Commission to the City.Cauncil on behalf �of the
citizenr_y, and that we v�ouJ_d like to see a street put in on that
ease-ment that c��ould meet all the Cii�y specifi_cat�ions for a public
street, that cauld be a shared cost of_ the City and the dPVeloper,
or ]�y an agreement that could be worked out �iiih the developer,
so th�t we don`t ha.ve this continuing problem.
Chairman HarLis said this could be handled as a separate
item, but for himself, h� would li.):e to study this 15D0 feet
further, and he didn't tllink he wanLcd to st�e the approval of
this plat held up, while this road problem was beinc� studied.
He felt i�his road affect:ed the entire area, and shouJ_d be handled
separat�� from the Plat. N'_r. Petel-son said that his problem �,ras
that he approved of the p]_at, but he couldn't vote in favor of
it, when there wasn'� an adequate road to get the people in and
out. r4rs. Sporre said ihere should be some assurarice given to
the people who �aould be buying thr-_se townhouses, that there was
an adequate road to provide fire protection also. Mr. Harris
said he agreed, but this was such a large and important issue,
he thaught the road proUlem needcd more time spent on it. Mr.
Petcrson said he would like to make a mction to apnrove the plat,
and make one of the stipulations that their be a:�olution to
the 1500 feet of road in New IIrighton withii� a cerL-ain time fram�.

Mr. Boardman said i�he units which would be built.in units
of two were basically the same as the townhouses that had been
developed in Phase I, II, and III.
Mr. London said there would be basically two types of
buildings in the 4th and 5th Additions. He said �na parageould

Mr. Scott asked the price range of the townhouses in these
plats. Mr. London said they would be in the $40,000 to $50,000
price range.
Mr. Lor.don said these �?lans h� :�e .been taken to the North

townhouses in these plats were compatible with the existing
units.
� Nir. Farr said the revised figures .for these to�ar�houses
would make the cost trom $�}5,000 to $GO,000. He said the
units were exparzdabl_e, and could be as 1arc�e as 5 bedrooms.

D1r. Langenfelcz sai.d that he felt the eztension road of North

He said tl�at any s�lbsequent developmeni� in this area �r�ould only
compound t.he probl.em.
TZrs . ti9ahlUerg said she thought tliey sl�iould bear in mind that
the original_ proposzl �or �his part of lnnsbruck had a much larger
amount of uni.ts, and th::zt th�y had prelii�linary approval for that
many units at that time. l�robably the k�y to this now was the
road sii�uation. Tra�fic patterns whicli havc developed in thc: first
three phases o� the toe,nlzouse developmeni� had made Iler have grave
reservations about tlle traffic probl.�ms witlz the development of two
more townllot�se arc�as tliat w�rc being considered at this time. She
thoughi: thaL- ever� i� these were private roads, the City had the
responsibility of stepping in on a main funnel street.
Chaiz:man IIarris ask�d Mr. E3oardman llow this fii into i:hc Comprc-

1�0 UN1TS, T-�76-02, I3Y DAI2RLL 71. 1'11RR DL;VELOPMLNT
COIZPORA`1'IOI�, FOR :INNSBRUCK VILLIIGT.
MOTIUN by Peterson, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning
Commission reopen the Pub.iic Hearing on the consideration of a
preliminar� P1at, P.S. i176-02, Innsbruefi Village, by Darrel A.
Farx Development Corporation. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye,
Chairman Narris declared the Public Nearing open at 11:45 P.M.
Mr. IIoardman said it �aas proposed to construct 25 4 unit
tovmhouses on this plat. He said th� preliminary approval
for this phase of th� Innsbruc)c developrnent was for a 251 unit
apartment coinplex to be cons.truct�d in,this area, so instead
of having ?.51 units in this area, there wi11 be 100 units. There
are HUn monies involved in the development so West Bavarian Road
v,�ill be a p��blic street �aith a 50' right of wa.y �ahich will be
a connect�ing s�t.reet between Arthur Street and North Irnsbruck
Drive. The spur roads in the development vaill be private streets,
and this will have a separute Townhouse I�ssociation.
Chairman Harris said tliis �aas the plat where there �,�ere
structures too close to the the s-L-reet, and �ahere they had
requested a blanket variance. Mr_. Boardm�n sai.d the City Attorney
has said that any variances needed c,�ere subject to approval �-aith
the ap�roval of the to�enllouse deve)_op:T?ent, and whe�.her the Planninq
Commissian agrces �aitll his ini�erpret.atian that this didn't h�ve
to be heard by the Appeals Commission v,Tas up to �Lhem. He said
that :�nowhere in: the i:.o�anhouse ordinance does it mention setback
requirem�nts. I�ir. Iiarris said this p.ro�er�.y was zoned R-3, and
he felt they had to i,leet the P-3 requi.remc�nts o�� a public street.
D'Ir. Boardrnan said that und�r the tovan7iouse ordin�nce requirements,
that t�his vaas the only time in ot�.r o��dinances that there had to
be, both a p.lat approval and a plan approval. Mr. Bcardrnan said
he �elt that this :oas -L-he basis of i�he City I��torney's ruling.
(P•'Ir. Boardman and Mrs. Gabel both thought there had been
rec�uests for variances in other to�anhouse de�Telopm�nts but a
seaLCh �aas madc� through all townllc�use aata, and th�re was no
record of any variances going tizr_ough the 1lppeals Commission.)
Mrs. Sporre asked Mr. Boardman where this developm�nt did
not meei� the R-3 requirements. Mr. Boardman said the only xequire-
ment they didn't meet was the setback from public right of way.
The area requirements are met, the opc�n space requirements are
met. He said the City 1lttorney has interpreted the townhouse
ordinance that any area recluirements, open space requirements,
and setback requirements be part of th� a�proval of the townhouse
development, and this included any variances nceded.
Mrs. Sporre asked �vl�at variances they were being asked to
approve in this townhouse pian? r1r. Iioardman said it was the
35' setUack fr.om public right �i way. They were asking for a
blanket variance from 35' to 0' for �he garagc of some of the
units. :He said there was 7' �rom the curb L-o the property line.
Mr. IIoardman said the garage doors would not facc the streei:.

, Mr. Peterson said that if he rememuered correctly, the reason
for the placement o� the units as was presented was because
of the topoc�raphy. rir..�IIoardman s�id thcre was a high ridge
that pusYied tliese units closer �to the street.
Mr. Scott said that as part of the 71-95 review process
the Iiuman Rc�sources Commission �aas to conduct a hcaring on this
application. Ratrier than have another public hearing, the minutes
o� this meeting wi11 be parf: of thai� review. He said the A-95
revicw was a separate action.
Mr. rar.r said they had a model of the development, which
he thought ��Tould answer a lot of questions that �oer_e9�rmanc to
this development. I-Ie said that if a greater setback was required,
it would have a divcrse effect on this dev�lopment.
D�r. IIarris said that he wasn't even considering the pros
, cons of t�he variancc.s. He ��as more concerned with the
proredure thcy �,terc follo:•�ing to grant the pro1�osed variance .
felt they were circumventing th� zaniiig code.
and
He
Mr. Bergm�n asked Mr. Farr to state the hardsl�ips involved
in this variance requcst. P�1r. Farr said the hardship �aas tl�e
cost coi�sidera�L-i.o:�, and �-ahether_ that ��aould be classified as
a hardship, he dzdn`t }�.new. ��Je �-:ant to k�ep these particuJ_at tC�•JI7:-

t��e w.ould 1i)ce to keep the pric� of these uriits in. the mid $30, 000.

a public street, but qo back to a private street, and this ��;ould �
have to Uc financed conv�ntion�ally, or do som�thing else. ry
mal:ing the s�reet widcr, as you can see ]�y the nloc�el, �ae wotzld

stantially. The units are designed to fit into a hill. They all
go up. ��Te haVe triec� to preserve puUlic areas.. The drive side
and garage side are public areas, and the pedestrian areas ar•e
private arcas. He said that as they widc�ned West Bavarian Pass
we had to �ush the units together, so that we could develop a
continuity of flow of the grce�i areas. Iie said that inste�d of
having 300' to 400' between units, we have 100' or 70' less than
that. He said they thought about �he set}:Uacks a gr�at deal when
thcy designed the uiiii�s. He said that he felt thnt one of the
r�asons for this sctback was to allow stacking of cars in front
of a gar.ae�e. 1111 of the garacJes in this entire clevelopmciZt c.cre
structured so that tlic cars dri.ve into thc side of i:h� gar.age.

drive. Iie said tl�e only struc�ures that would fa11 within the
normal setback line are the garages. The units themselves would
be 40' back from the property line, so he didn't think this would
cause any visual bliqht, Uecause the garages were relatively small
structures when compared to the units themselves. He said these
were the basic rea_ons for asking for a varianc�, or whatever
it is .
Mr. R. M. Rumpsa, 1481 North Innsbruck Drive, said that
when the single homes werc developed, they had to meet covenants
that ��ere established by the Darrel 11. Farr Develapment Corporation.
No��, when A4r, l,arr wants L-o put in another devel.opment, it seems
that tlzis has come around aboui� 180°, because �his development
doesn't even mcet� i�he sc:tback requir.cmcni.s. He said that when
he bought his ].ot, he kn��w the.re was �supposed to be an apartment
complex on this site, and he wasn' t so sure that that wouldn't
be sti_�_1 ±he best idea for. i�his site. He said tlzat by putting
homes in t'.e $33,Q00 ��o $39,000 range, that he felt that in 10
years, this would be a hell hole. ,
' I�4rs . Sporre asked P�2� . Farr if he knew of any other t,c_?wnhouse
develapment. where the gara�es were set so close to the street. Mr.
Farr said that zn most -L-�,�anhouse dc�velopments the garages were
� quit� close to the street. D1i-s. Sporre asked about public streets.
Mr. Far_r said that the on7-�' townhouse de�elopmen-t that he kne�a o�
that had al7_ publlc str_ee�s ���as in Albuquerque� Ne�a Mexico.
P�Ir. Har?=is asked how ��;�ide laest �avari�zil Pass was going to
be. ' Mr. Boardmaiz said there �aas a 50' i'ight of way, and the
str�et would be 31'. I�Zr. Harris said he.didn'�t think they
shouJ_d b^ allo�ved to lzave a 31' strect bccause a1I the other
residential streets in Fridley ��aer-e 36 `. P�lr. Boardman said the
F. H.I� . requirem�n t caus a 3 0' stree� , and tha-t th�re wer� just as
many 31' residential strecLs in Fri.dley as 36` wide streets.
Mr. Harris said that he felt t11at any curved street should be a
minimum o� 3G' . I�e saicl he lived on IZivervie�-r Terrace which was
a 3G' curved strcei:, so he kne�a tize piobJ.�ms.
Mr. Scott said he unde7�stood that the townhouses in this
plat woula ue a separate Townl�ous� I�ssociation. Mr. Farr said
that was correct. r�r. Scoti� said h� could see pr_oblems in the
maintei�ance of this aica, bec��use people in this price range of
homes wouldn't be able i�o mairitain �.he area. 1
Mr.��Bergman sai.d he wouldn't b� aale to vote in iavor of
this development bccause of the seLbac}c problems. Iie said he
knew we were talking aUout setback problems versus nature, existing
terrain, saving trees, c�tc. Iie said he }.new everyone was in
favor of saving trees, but they also wanted to se� a reasonable
amount of: the setb�zc}� requirements met. He said that with this
street being 31' and the location of the gar_�ges, that he would
feel like he was driving doti�n an alley, which he �elt �aas not
the intent of having a pul�lic street. He said a variance requcst
from 35' to 0' does not recognize �he setback requirement at all.
Mr. Peterson said he £clt very uncomfortable because the
. 4�

'
Appeals Cor.unission didn't debate th.is issue at tlieir last me�ting.
He asked Mrs. Gabel why tl��_s wasn't done. Mrs. Gabel said that
when this came to ihc Appeals Commission they w�r_e told the City
Attorn�y's interpr.etation, and wc were told we did not have to
act on the variance request.
Mr. i3ergman said he dic�n't thi_nk they shot�].d get a11 hung
' up on procedure. If someone says cae can approve or disapprove
the plan, he would 1�e willing to do that, considc�ring the setback
as part of the p1an. Mrs. Gab��l said she couldn't agree with
Mr. Farr that a garage pJ_aced 7 feet �rom the street wouldn't be
' a visual blight, and she also felt that this would b� a traffic
hazard.
�
�
�
,
'
I�
'
Mr. Boardmaz� said that a11 the gar_ages u;er.en't at the 0'
setback. He said i�l�at instead of going thraugh �the variance
procedure on every garagc, �Lhey just asked for a blanl:et variancc.
T�e said that in most cases the garages �•rcre setback at lea:.,t 5`
from -l-.he property Iine, and in other .cases, it �•ras a greater
distancc than i�ha-t., but the actual request was for a blanket
variance.
Mr. Harris as}�ed if ther.e was going to be concrete curb
and gutLer on �he Public �freet. of ���est Eavarian Pass. Mr.
Boa:cdman said ther� would be. Mr_. Harris said the str�et woulci
be b�i1t i�o City specificai=ian of 4" base and 2 1/2" �mat. I��r.
Boar_clman said it �eould. A:r. Harris asked if on--��tr�et parl�ing

parking spac�s pro�,�icl�d for. cac]z ui�it.
Mr. I3�rgman said thut in the ent�ire North Innsbrucic area,
this site ha� been ciiosen �or townhouses for people o� Iower
income families, and it seemed to him that lo�aer income people
didn't get setbacks:and did get zlarrota str�ets.
r1r. Scott asked i.f there �aas a diff.erence in the tax structure
' f:or a detached anc� �,ttaclzed garage. rir. Board.inan said he couldn`t
answer tli�t qu�stion. (Notc�: City Assessing office said that
. thcr� �aas no aiffei_cnce in the f;ax structure. )
�

'
Mr. I'arr said that he thought this townhouse development
incoZpol-atc�d as many good plan�l�.ng features as he had Qver seen
in a plan. He again quoted from the Metropolitan Council report.
" The Respect for Topography in�Shapinc� Devcl.opment: The housing �

Mr, rarr said these units in this development were not closer
tog�ther than the units in oi�her townliouse additions. Th� fact
that the setbacks were wrong because thi_s was designed for lower
income people taas �iot correct because the dist�nce from garage
to garage to street ���as closer in the other_ i�ownhouse aevelopments,
�ahere �•�e werc taJ_ki_ng in a price rang� of $45, 000 -L-o $60, 000. He
said that if the nublic s�reet was going to be a problem, then he
guessed th�t thcy didn`t ne�d a publ�_c street.
Nr. I-iarris said there were some things that went with a public
street that va�reri't� requirem�nts wi_t1� a priva�e stre�t.
. Mr. Peterson said this could eliminate so?ne people from being
�' able -�o purchase a to�ti�nhouse in this area, if this went to a
private street, because then this developm�nt �-aouldn't meet the
F.H.A. requiremen�. I�ir. Farr said they f_elt that it �aould eliminate

Mr. Farr_ saic� he c�aould like to read one mor_e paragraph from
the Ne�ropolitan Council reporc. "ProvidiiZg diversizy of costs

mearxs by which tlie qoal of increased divcrsi-�.y of housing casts �_
may be met in PI7D`s." �ir. F��rr said hc� und�rstood that the City
had ordina�zces, and i�hai� the�r had to Zive w�_tl� them. He said tha�
he didn't bc�liev� in i�letropolitan governmcnt, bi�i� he fii�nly
believ�c� that l�ietr_opolitan government ��aas ma}>ir_g trem�r�dous inioads
into local gotTernment, and tlzis may be becaus� of the inflexibility
of some of the local orc�inanccs. I�e said this may be far afield
from cvhat he ���as acldressing here, but he said that ardi_nanc�s ���er_e
made by peo��l�, and ��eople can cha�zge them, and he b�lieved there
should be more fl�:�ibility in local gov�rnmcnt. He said that all
the considerai�ions the Plarining Coli�mission had brought oui� were
valid. Someone wllo cou].dn't see aroui�d the corne.r, sno�-a removal,
si�rect repair, emergency vehicles access, they �,-ere a11 very
valid, and he appreciated all those concerns. He wasn't sur� that
this project as it was desie�ned, did not provid� for aIt these
things.
Mrs. Sporre said just to point out that we didn't live in
the dark agcs in I'ridley, the Environmental_ QuaZity Commission
had as a goal to fos.t�r:r and promote innovative designs and she
undcrstood Mr. I'arr's ati;e�npt to prescrve the contours and retain
as much as you can of a k�eautiful site. Mrs. S�orre said that
she couldn't make a motion,��but she would like to have this

� Mr. Scott said that he agreed with Mr. Farr as to la�czl
government sometimes being inflexible. He said that he hs.m�elf
was an advocate of this. IIe said that as far as PUD developmcnts
he didn't fecl that tYiere was adequate basis to dra��m conclusions
from. Iie said th�-it if the Metropo]_itan Council ana HUD thought
i�hat i�hcy could sit in St. Paul_ and ma}ce these kind of deci_sions,
they wouldn't be sending ii� to a srna)_1. Commission sucli as the

maybe someone could come u�� wit11 an idea for this site. Mr.
I'arr explained the top-�c;raphy and �he placement c�� th�� units.
He said that somc� of the units �aere designed all on one leveJ.,
� for what he called "empty nes�t" people, people who have raiscd
their families and were again alone, and wanted a smaller place
to take care of. Mr. Farr said he lzad put in more work oii this
� site, than any of the other sites Ize had developed. Iie said i�hey
had been working on a plan for this site since August of ].975.

Mr. Scott said he didn't see anywhere on this development
where t}�ere was recreation provided for young people. Mr. rarr
said this land wa� adjacent to the City park to the North and
there was a tot lot provided to tlle �ast by the 131ack 1'orest

would not walk two blocks to a par.k. He said that as this site
was expected to be attractive to young people, he didn't feel �
that there wer� adequate facilities for young people.
�Mr. IIergman asked Mr. Farr if- he would consid�r some of the
elements in this pro�osed plat. I-Iis par.ticular concernswere the
lack of setback and the streeL- width, and parking, and he was
wondering if Mr. Farr ���as willing to consider a compromise on
the setback requir.ement. Mr. Farr saia that any movement of
the units would liave an adv�rse effect on the wooded areas and
he caondered what type of compromise he had in mind. Mr. Bergman
said he would rather_ vary the setback fzom 35' to 20' rather
than �the 0' . IIc� said this �-�as his personal opinion, but due
to the hardships of the si�e, he fclt�tllis was a resonable
compronise. r,r. Eergman said the other alternative was for
Mr. Farr to request a recommendation on the plat as it has been
prescn.z�d .
Mr. Farr said that he could not economically reduce the
density in this plat. He said he had a lot of money in this lando
Iie sai.d it was zoned and planned for a 251 unit apartment building.
He said that he r�ally didn'i: want to build a 251 unit. apartment
bui.lding and he was not saying that if they didn't approve this,
he was gcing to bui.ld a 251 unit apartmcnt building. He said that
he felt this plarl filled a needed c,ral� in our housing mix in that
part of the worlc�, and he honestly believed that this plan vras
as �r�e11 thougl�t oiit as anv plan he had �come across, and he was
sayir�g thai� in all. sincerity.

Our proposal is as follows:
, . . •. 2
,•__ •: .
. , :: ..
�� 1. The developer will maintain the road throuoh surface patching,
as necessary, until all ot the cor.�truc�ion on developer controlled Zand
� in Innsbruck �?orth is complete. (As we a�reed at the March 17, 1976, Hear-
i,.ng, we have patched the holes once and are in the process of patching them
� a�ai.n because oi the heavy moistu.��^e content.) �
-,� � �
�l�!t "�1 2. The City of Fridley would make arrangemenis to ploca the road..
�� 3. The road woul�he turn�d aver to the City .of Fridle,y upon completion
trithout �urther obliGation upon the developer for up-orading.
�

The other probl�TM� tha�C received a large amount of serious discussion at the
I�arch 17 Hearin� was thu stre�t ti��dth and the set back requirement for the _
extension of t•1�st Bavarian Pass from North Innsbruck Drive ta tir�lhur S-�reet. �
This is the stree-t we propos^ to dedicate to the City.
As we S.ndicated, our request to dedicate this stree-t and our request for a
set back variance was predica�ed on our desiz�e to finance these units with
the FiIA. ti�1e be1?_e��e thS.s irould aS.d ii� }:eeping the cos�ts down for the future
residents, both in �ridinal selXing price and in main�tenance cos-�s. -
, Because of -�he r4cent change in the i�7inn�sota Usury Law, it is possible to. . .
fin�nce the project wi�th this pari:icular street being private. However, t•:e
co:�tinue �to feel, because the stre�t connects North Innsbruck Drive �nd
Arthur Street and because FHA financing i.s more desirable, the street shouJ.d
� be public. � . ,.
From a technical, s-tandpoint, we do not feel that the set backs Zs proposed
'tai1.1 crea�e any groblem for th� heal�th, saf.ety, and welfa.re of the r.esidents
'� of the C.�ty oi Fridley: The visibility is equaZ to or be�tter tl�an the visi-
� bilii:y in i:he Innsbxuck North sin�le-fami.]_y area tahere street widths are 31
, feet. i�;e do not �ee1. the set.backs, as proposed, hamper, in any way, str�et .
maintenance, emero�ncy in�mess anci e�ress, or sno:a removal. By a11. traffic
. sfiandar:Is, this street wi11. be lightly tr.aveled. �.
�

�
F�e believe thar the automobiie _in our socS.ety deserves reasonable considera•ti�n;
howevex, we bel.iev� it is -�ima �hat we plan more for peaple and �.ess �or auto-
mobiles. To require unrealistic se�t bacics in this area would certainly have •
� detriM=�nta1. e�zec-t on the p�oole ��ho will reside in Innsbruck North by virtue
oi additio;�al �topo�raphical n:odirications and the lass of a vas-� nurr�er of the
natural txees. '
S�1e met on Thu-r�day, April 1, 1976, with the Human Resources Commissian. At
this n�etinb, -this Coromission ac�cd favorably on our proposed �lan.
The Inn:::`uruck Idor�h iownhou�e A��ociation, consis�ing of approxima�Lely 130
i•a:ai.lie�, throu"h it� Loard oP Director:�, has indicated �their agreement `ai�h

Commission, althou�h we understand th�y discussed the plan at a recent
meetin�. At the Plannin� Comr�iss�.o-► n::e�tin� of April 7, 1376, �ae �aill
prescnt a plan showing the cuts and i-ills required to develop the followino:
1. A 251-unit apartment building
0
' 2. The Innsbruck Village plan as pro�osed
3. The Innsbruck Villa.ge plan with typical single--family set backs.
�
'
�de believe this wil], readily indicate the environmental impact o� each of
the plans and shcr�� th�t the plan i•re ha�•e proposed is as considerate of the
environr�ent as any plan could possi�.�ly be.
In sur�nary, I would like to quo-te a para�aph on Page 9� of a housi�g report
from the t�etropolitan Council, d�-ted February 1974, enti��].ed, "PUD: Trends
and Experience In the I�letropolitan Area."
� "Providing a diver�>ity of costs within PUD's is perhaps one of the
� more important goals to eventual].y be met. Public attenfiioz� should be
directed �o deveiop flexible publ�.c proUx�ms that wi�l enaUle the variety
of housin; types and costs to be in creased within PUD's. The Couneil will
be taatchino the housin� trends in this respect, and wi1.1 continue to expl�re
�� var.ious means by c�r3iich the goal of ancreased diversity of housing costs may
• be raet wi�hin PUD � s."
II belS.eve the key phras� in �this p�ragraph is, "Public attention should be
directed to develop i�ler..ibie public pro�rams..o" I seriausly.hope that the
above tiaill aid you in your pen3ino dec�sion.

Mr. Boardman said thi_s nreliminary plat was for the construction
of 1U0 i:ownhouse UIllts in what va�s i�l�e si�.e location for a 251 unit

wil l�bc Vdest Savar. ian Pass . The spur roads of f of the public s t=reet
�aill be priva�.c stre�ts. There wil]_ be a separate to�anlzouse association
for �hc townhouses in this plat.
rir. Bergman asked for clar_if_ication of the public ro�d as far
as City specifications. r1r. Boardman said ttlis public road wou].d
have a 5U' right of way and the street GJOUI.C� be 31' wide.
Mr. P,oardrnan said the.re will be 25 structur_es, �aith 4 units to
' a stiuc�Lure.. They are 'for sale` property, -L-hey are not rental
pr.operty.
I�ir. T'ar_r_ said tl�ev had a mod�l b�iilt for this development- which
they had at the meeting. They thouqht this �aould h�lp explain this
devc�lo;���c�nt to the Plannina Cornmiss�_on and to the people in the
audicncc. It sho��as the topogra.�l1�J oi the plat and lzo��a the uni.ts u�i1i

tl�a-L- ���er_e �ither rari;bler units, with a stora,e area all on the same
leveJ_ , or units wi�ii a ���all:-out basement � He said they managed to
keep thc st�_cets on onc side of all units, so the sLree-L-s doiz't go
on bo�h s�:dcs as they would in �� typical 4-unit building. He said.

wer� faced to the c;reen space wot<ld have attac.hed garagcs whi_ch helped
alleviai�e the ro��r of garages facing the fr.ont. He sai.d the design
of the uni_ts provided for driveLOays and garage doors to be on t7ie
lower pa.rt of the hil.l, and as the sJ_ope of_ the land decreases, the
units si�ep up thzt sl.ope, so there would bc� less cutting of the ]_and,

tok�nhouse developmeni�s. Mr. London said they have lcarned a lot
aboui� townhouse d�velopmcnt sincc they started, or else there probably
would Iz�ve k�een a public road in the other developmcnts. Mr. Farr
said he didn't i�l�ink tlie Cii�y wantcd a public road at that point in
time.
Mr. R. G. Rumpsa said he was concerned about. the price range
of thcse tawnhouscs. Some of the single famil.y homes were in the
$150,000 brackct and he didn't think tha� moderately pric�d townhouses
were c:ompatiU].e with tha� type of home. IJe 1:hougliL- these towiitiouses
would dctract from the property values of the single family liomes.

did question the differ_encc in grade for the townhouse units, which
was up to 7.0' i.n some places. Ii� said the type of consi:ruction would

Mr. LuJ:asze�•as):i. read aloud the position of the Board of Director�
of the Innsl�ruc}c I��lorth Townhouse Associatioi� on the �'arr devel-
oprnent on the land north of Inns�ruc}: Driv�. Their position reads
as folla�as :
1. Uue to some confusiolz that exisis, �et's make certain
the record is se-i: straigh-L--the townhomes proposed ir: this area
ar_� in no way, {o�.�ma�_ly or informally, to be construed as part
of our e�istil7g association.
2. The townhomes p]_anned for that areu, if properly
maintai_ned, do not seem to present any adverse effects �to our
neighboi�ncod. lhe design, cost ran�;e and proposed developmelzt
plan have been considei�ed in ihat s�atement. �rle do have one
concern in the realrrl of the mainte�zance of that property:
a. We believe the townhomE�s are �to be par-L- of
' an association, although we have no basis fox� .
that belie�.
b, t�Je believe the maintenance and up}ceep of that.
�� ' developmerit will be very difficult if an �
association is not for�med.
I_J
�
3. Current city planning studies seem to indicate a broad
•� socioeconomic base in a neiUhborhood is a desirable attribute
in a n�ighborllood. We believe that �.f a1.1 parties concerned,
notably ; Innsbrucic North To���nhouse Association, �the single fami_ly
llom�s, the apartments, this new associati.on, continue to mai�ztain
theii' OWI1 properties theri there will be miiiimal problems in the
future .
Mr. Lukaszewski added the plan appears to a competent and unique
plan foz� a nei�liborhood. •,

HUMLIN RESOURCES CUMMISSZON DISCUSSION ON DARRF.T� FARR 11PPLICATION
PAGE T4��0
Mr. Bel�urn asked how many families were presentl.y a part of the
' Innsbx�uck North Townhouse Association. P�Ir. Lukaszewski stated
the association was comprised of 126 iamilies.
�
�
,
Ms. Lambert asked why one larger. association rather than several
smaller ones couldn't be formed. Mr. Farr stated this �aould
create all kinds of probJ_ems including problems wi�th the Home-
owner's Association fee. The Innsbruck P1ort}i To�mhouse Association
fee is presently $43.00 per month per family. The fee for the
new association to be. formed will be a�proxima�te7_y $28 . OU per
month per family.
Mr. Belgum asked whether an association wilJ_ be formed. Mr. Far_i�
sta-L-ed they will f_orm an association ��Jhich basically follows thc�
guidelines set by fIUD. It will b� �atterned as closely as pos-
sible with �the existing association.
, Ms. Sheaasked how -the neighboring people feel about this develop-
ment. I�1r. Farr stated he did not know, but this will not af:Fect
their property.

P'!s . Shea asked �ahy an obj ec�tion was raised about the road being
31 fee-L wide. Ms. Lambert stated it is a winding mai.n street.
Ms. Lamber_t added, however, that she lives on a 31 f.00t wide
street and it was dif�icult at times, but that she would. not deny
the plan for �this reason .
Mr. Scott stated he would like to express his concerns on the
maiter. He added he wa.s hat�irig a few pr.obl_ems accep-ting �this
developmeni: for two reasons . (1) P°Zr . Scott s�Lated when he spoke
of ghe-Ltoization, he meant economic sti�atifi_ca��ion. He stated
he was opposed to that. He added he would like ta s�e a greater
range in the kirids of housinb that are available. He stated he
did not want to create som��t}�i_n; tr�at could be identified as the
lowest economi_c group. (2) Mr. Sco�tt stated because he has been
an occupant of townhouses and rental units for a long time, he
has come -Lo discover witY� young chilclren as r.esidents, the immed-
iate area would l�ecome run down.
Ms. Shea stated a beautifu]_ recreational area caas across the
street from fihis development.
Ms. Lam}�ert addcd in one and two bedroom to�mhouses, there would
not be much likelihood for. many_children.
Ms. Scott stated he realized it would not be fair to ask Mr. Farr
to redo this entire plan, He stated, however, �tha� Metro Council
is looking at the type of� thin� he had mentioned.
Mr. L�.ndstrom stated he felt Mr. Scott t�tas missa.I1�T the whole
po�nt.�Iie stated the whole area is a totality. It was more
socio=economically feasi.ble this way.

MEMO T0: Planning Commission
MEMO FROM: Jerrold L. Boardman, City Planner
MEMO DATE: March 26, 1976
RE: Taxation Question on Townhouse Developments
Attached please find graphs showing how tax dollars are
dispersed in the different school districts. The mill rate
is different for each school district.
1975 Mill Rate with Fiscal Disparities
School District 11
School District 13
School District 14
School District 16
101.86
95.79
102.00
107.72
' The North Innsbruck Townhouses are in School District #13�
' which incidentally has the lowest mill rate. As per the �
graph, this mill rate is dispersecl in the following manner:
�
,
'
�
'
�
54.12 Mil]_s
22.22 Mills
14.88 MiZls
3.41 Mills
.77 Mills
.24 Mills
.15 Mills
95.79 Mi11s
go to the schools
go to the County
go to the City
go to Metro Transit
go to Metro Council
go to Mosquito Control
to to N.S.H.D.
(56.50%)
(23.20a)
(15. 53 0)
( 3.56a)
( .800)
( .25%�
( .160)
100.000
This mill rate is applied to the assessed valuation of a
property, not the estimated market value. Any questions on
how the assessed valua��.on is arrived at should be directed
to the City Assessor's office.
The 14.88 rnills that go to the City accounts for 54.8% of the
total General Fund Budget of the City. In 1975 this amounted
to $1,619,966 out of total revenues of $2,954,850. The total
budget for Public Works was $525,162 or 18.3% of the City General
Fund Budget. This would equate to $296,453 in tax dollars or
2.65 mills or 2.80 of total taxes paid. This would mean, for
example, if the real estates taxes were $700 on a property, 2.80
of. those taxes would be $19.80. This Public Works Budget does
include the maintenance and snow plowing of North Innsbruck
Drive and Matterhorn Drive, and other public streets that service
this area. It also includes the costs of maintaining and repairing
of fire and police equipment which service. the Innsbruck area.
The City also runs water. and sewer lines to the property line of .
the area. These Public Works maintenance items would reduce the
2.8� figure a little, so the amount of real estate taxes being
paid by homeowners in a townhouse development far v�thich they
feel they were not getting services for, was not a large amount.

Chairman liarr�is said �;i-�is petition was sig�ed by many names..
Mr. C1ark said the staff had a meeting with Darrel Farr after the date
of the letter° wrytten by 1�r�. Farr to the Planning Commission, but prior to
� us receiving ita There wer�e a couple of items that were verball'y agreed
to that �vould change some of f.{�e comments in �,e pet.ition also Th first
{�il,J �ai�,1�'�---.. �� ,�0�
thing tha� was discussed was the width of �he street. He said the other
streets in N�orth Innsbruck wer� 28' back to back. He said that Darrel Farr
was proposing that West Bavarian Pass be built 31' wide.
Mr. Bergman asked for clarification of the street width. Mr. Clark
said that North Innsbruck Drive and Matterhorn Drive were built to state
aid standards, but North Danube, South Danube, West Danube and East Danube
are all 28' streets, and they are public streets. Mr. Clark said they
recognized that there might be less residential parking on these streets
than there would be on West Bavarian Pass. As a compomise we have agreed
that 31' might be adec;uate provided no parking was allowed on one side of the
�

street., preferably on the inside, so you could see around the curves
easier than if there were cars parked on this side of the street. He said
the second item they discussed was the setbacks. He said that if the 31'
strPet was approved there would be about a 10' boulevard, because it was
a 50' right of way. We felt that the garages should be at least 5' off
of the righ� of way so that we h�ve 15' for the.��orage of snow. This shou�d
be fairly adeq�a�e even during peri�da of heavy �nowe
this 5' was at the point of a sharp curve in the road.
The exc�ption ta
He said the
,�,�°�},�si�ht distance �� a residential �treet with 30 �oP.H. speed limit was
Z00'. To get that 200' of sight distance, one garage would have to be
located about 10' from the ►�igh� of way.
Mr. Pete�son asked if Nir� Farr had agreed to this and if there was
1 room to move this garage in 1G`? Mr. Clark said this data was just
'
�
compiled by the Engineerinc� Departirer;t and thi�s was the first the developer
was hearing of this. He said that Mr�. Farr did agree that what ever it
took to get the 200' sight distance on a 30 M.P.N. residential sireet, that
he would abide by that. Mr. Farr said �hat was correct.
Mr. Clark said the third item discussed was the maintenance of the
extension road of North Ir�nsb�R�ck Qrive to Silver Lake Road. Darrel Farr
agreed to keep up the surface, patching it as necessary, the same as was
done on any other residential street. He asked the City if we would plow
it. We have said that we would but at the lump sum of $500 per year. Mr.
� Clark said that should be more than adequate if we plow it when we plow
�.
� ��
i
our own streets, and sand it when we sand our own streets.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked Mr. Clark what conversations there had been between
the City of Fridley and �he City of New Brighton regarding that street. Mr.
C7�rk said that North Innbruck Drive will be connected to Silver Lake Road
but not at the present alignment. This was definitely a temporary situation.
�
' ,

� Ne said that New Brighton has no�plans -for when this road will conne
ct, but
� �
�
we do know that it will be a Staie aid street.. A lot will depend upon the
development of the land in New Brighton. He said if someone came in and
purchased this land, this road could be completed as soon as next year,
or it could be ten years.
Mrs. Wahlberg said the reasan she asked the question was because she
wondered if some agreement couldn't be worked aut with New Brighton tha�
they would pay Fridley something for maintaining and plowing this street
as New Br�ghtar� was receiving th� 1:axes on the property adjacent to this
road, t�Ir. Clark said he didn't think they would go along wi�h anythir�g
like this because NE��v Br�igh�on could care less if the road was there.� It
was not a road that vras nece�sary to New Br�i ghtari. Zt was a roaci used by
the resider�ts of Fridley.
Mr. Clark said that was far as the maintenance o� this extensiorr, when
the development fin�shes the constructior of the last townhouse, the
maintenance of this raad will revert to the City of Fridley; because we
own the easement for this road. Mr. Pe�erson said this easement was 66'
and he didn't think that a 26' stre�t would serve this area for 10 years.
Mr. Clark said the width was �dequate for what it was being used for. Mr.
Clark said the problems tha� have occurred with this road in the winter
time was because of the way it <<:as plowed. It was probably only plowed
to about 16 to 18 feet. He said that when the City plows this street to
the full width, this should eliminate a lot of the problems mentioned at
other meetings on this development. He said that 26' wide was two 13'
driving lanes, and that was.adequate when there was no reason for anyone
to park on tihis street. Mr. Bergman said it was brought out at the Public
Nearing that there were many peop]e who walked this road to catch the bus
at Silver Lake Road, and he didn't think it was wide enough to handle both
automobile and pedestrian traffic.

Rou,qh Draft of Part of the Planninq Commission Meeting - April 7, 1976� Paqe 5
Mrs. Shea asked why Mr. Farr was the only developer in the area
that had to maintain that extension road. Mr. Clark said because he
was the petitioner for the rezoning of this property, and the City wanted
this road so that it would be used during the constructian of the townhouses
and provide another acces`� ',e homeowners in this area. It seems like
this road was more conveniert,� I. 694. He said that if this road had
only been used f�r autamobile traffics it wouldn't have broken up as it
has. He said that if this was a public road, it would have been posted
duri�g thc� spring, but as thi� was about a 7 to-n street, and the construction
vehicles usir�g this extensiar� �rere probably 9 ton, was �he reason why �his
road had broken up . �
Mr. Peterson said triat after sitting �nd listening to peop1� firam
this area complaining about this road un�il all hours of the night, he
felt that something would have to be don� about it, but he didn't feel
that this was completely the prablem of the Farr Corporation. He felt
the Gity was going to continue to have problems and complaints on this
road.
Mr. Clark said that if Darrel Farr wasn't involved in this street at
all, and it was the sole responsibility of the City, because this was only
a temporary location of the r�oad he couldn't see spending tax dollars to
upgrade this road to a wider width. He said that when the City plowed
this street, they could probably put the wing down and p�ow the boulevard
far this street so people;could �valk along the side of the road.
Mr. Bergman said he had a problem with this because no one could put
a time frame on when this road would be permanently constructed in New
arighton. Mr. Harris asked if NEW Brighton would take over the connector
road when it was constructed in Netiv Brighton, or would .FridTey still have
an obligati�oo. Mr. Clark said that the road in New Brighton would be a
state aid road when it was constructed and there wasn't a tax burden on
�
�,• ' Re��b 9wa�� e� Part of the Planning Commission Meeting Apri1 7, 1976 Page 6_
maintaining a state aid road, so there was no reason for Fridley to have
' �
an obligation in New Brighton, when this road �a�cs. permanently located.
Mr. Harris said the Planning Commission was concerned because in
the memo from Jerry Boardman to Dick Sobiech that they had received, it
was stated that the City had no responsiblity for this extension, but
it was �Xl�����C also brought out at these meetings that the contract between
Darrel Farr and the City had expired, so it seemed no one was responsible
for this raad. Mr�. Clark said the inte;�t of the agreement was that 1;he
develop�r would maintain this �°oad un�:il construction was completed, and
then the City of Fridley would take over this road until the permanent
alignment of this road was constructed ir� New Brighton. He said the
extension af this agreement during construct�iarr shoul� be part of the
plat approval, and Mr. Farr agrees to this, if the City will plow the
road.
Mr. Peterson said that he felt that the problem stili hadn't
been so1ved with this stre�te It was so constructed that �at2� stood
i►� the street, and it was not wide enough to provide for either pedestrian
or bike traffic.
Mr. Clark said the solution was that the City widen the street and
insta�l "sidewalks. In order to da that, the City has to get mon�y from
�
some place, so� � would hold a Public Hearing on the �provement. He
would venture to say that the r�esidentsof Fr d y� ��-t want that
improvement made, when thzy had to pay for it. Mr. Harris said he didn't
�� know who the City could_assess_ �t,�o,� �i�no�;o�e this road. Mr. Clark said then
� ;�,��,.^4-�, ��t.. iL'a;,�u,�,� :'":`.�.�, �"
the City Council v�,��9 to order that road improved. .. .
Mr. Bergman asked if the City had a set of specifications for curb to
curb street width standards? Mr. Clark said they were many width streets
I'� � ������-.#�er the City. Ne said it may not sound logical, but
there was logic behind each street width. He said that on residential streets
1
_ . _ -�
' '
�
Rouc�h Draft of Part of the Planninq Commissi�on Meeting of April 7, 1976 Page 7
that were side stre�ts where there were no home facing that street, ihe
norma1 standard was 31'. He said that residential streets such as North
Innsbruck and Riverview Terrace were 36' wide, these were streets that
had housing facing that street. He said that most collector streets were
40' to 44' unless it carried a heavy traffic load, and then they could
be as wide as 50`. He said tha �service drives where �t�ere was no parking
� ��
t�d be �', where we �av� 3Q' right of ways, but in industrial parks
these can be as wide as 36` now. Mr. Peterson said then the extension of
' North Innsbruck DRive ��s�classified as a service drive. Mr. Clark said
1� .
there was ano�hPr �� such as on Nor�h .D�t�ub� and South Danube..

r
where the street was concrete the fu11 width, and that was 28'.
Mr. Petcrson said that he w�s sympathetic ta the Darrel A. Farr
CorpQration because he felt they had tried ta coaper�ate with the City
and they seeme� to havE dev�lo�ed a gaod rapport with the Staff in terms
of their willingness to campromise, but he felt badly because we were
not solving the problems af the citizens of Fridley who have been to
these hearings complaining about the road extension.
Mr. Harris said that rathe�° than widening out this extension street,
he wondered if it would be possible to grade a strip 6 to 8 feet wide
alony side of the road that could serve as a walkway. He asked Mr. London
what"kind of soil was in this area. h1r. London said it was clay. Mr. Harris
asked Mr. Farr if it would be possible to have his bulldozing equipment grade
a 7' strip along this road. Mr. Farr said he would be willing to do this.
Mr. Claxk sa�l that i� the Cit� .,bad any extra wood chips available, they
r .�",. �.. �y-;s��'� �'��'' �R-^,�,�„ �_.'�.usrw �
���� � �,.�� on this walkway, so it wouldn t be so muddy, but he
couldn't make any committment on that. Mr. Harris said that if the C.ity
plowed this area in the winter time, it would provide a walkway in the
winter also.

Mr. Peterson said that if the City will plow the street to the full
width and if a walkway of some type was put in along the road for pedestrians,
he felt this was as far as they could go at this time of solving the problems
with this road.

MOTION by 4Jahlberg, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission

and the consideration'or a 100 unit townhouse development T#76-02, for

Mr. Bergman said that it seemed to him that Dar�rel Farr was doing his
job, but it seemed the City of Fridley was remiss in puttino forth any
effurt for the residents c�f �hP City.
Mr. Harris said �hat pr�bab1y in a moral sense that Fxidley shou.ld
be putting in the walkway, but to be realistic, he didn't thihk Frictley
had the kind of equipm�nt that would be needed for such a job, and there
might be complaints if Fridley equipment was seen workin� in New Brigh�ton.
He said that with the equipmer�t that Mr. Farr had, this job could probably
be done in six hours, and it would take much longer for the City to get it
done, and would cost a 1ot more money.
Mr. Bergman said hi.s concern was more for wha paid for this rather than
who did the job.
Mr. Farr said he thought that Mr. Narris's suggestion was a good one
and he agreed with it. He said that he agreed that the City should do it,
but they won't, so he would do it. Mr. Harris said he really appreciated
that. Mr. Bergman said there was a wash area in this road that shou7d be
handled. Mr. Harris asked h1r. Clark if there wasn't an old culvert around
,
that•hir. Farr could use. He said he thought the City should cooperate with
Mr. Farr also. h1r. Clark said that probably wouldn't be any problem.

e
PLA�dNING COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 7,]976 (ROUGH DRAFT) Page 9
Mr. Peterson said that in the last meeting the staff had with Mr.
Farr that they were in basic agreement on the plat as presented excep�t
for► the parking on the street, and the cha�ges in the 0' setbacks.
Mr. Narris said that he would rather see a 36' wide street so
�
parking could be on both sides of the street. Mr. Clark said this townhouse
plan was a little di-Fferent that the other townhouse plans in tha1: there
could be parking in the driveway to the garage. He said that if the street
was wide�red there would be��less room for snow storage, and mor�e snow to
put there. Mr. Harris said he thought parking on one side of t;he street
could be the cause of neigh�onc�od friction. h1r•e Clar•k said fihat if the
road was posted for no parking befiare the townhouses were sold people
would know that this was �he �ay it wa� going ta be and there wauld be
a townhouse associa��on to se��le any neic�h�orhood problems.
Mr. Narri s asked hor�t many uni ts woul d be next ta thi s street. Mr�.
Clartc said 60 units. They would have one car garages with space in the
driveway to park one car, so there was off street parking for two cars
for each unit. He said that �hese were one and two bedroom unitsy designed
to attract the retired couples and young marrieds so they felt that most
people would have only one or two cars. These weren't designed for large
family units. He said that Mr. Farr has tried to have housing in all price
ranges. He said that if there were wider streets and two car garages in
this townhouse development, then the costs would be much higher. He said
that to provide housing in this price range, there wouldn't be all of the
amenities �hat you would get in higher cost housing. Mr. Bergman said
they weren't talking about two car garages, they were talking about an
extra 5' of street width. Mr. Clark said that would add to the cost of
the construction of these townhouses. Mr. London said it would cost $3500
- to widen this street. He said that in the Vienna Townhouses
�
th�re were one car garages with no parking in the garage area, and when-��r�

buy these units they know what they were buying. Ne said they may have
lost some sales on these townhouses because of this, but any problems
�he people had were handled internally by the townhouse a�sociation..
He said that he was not in favor of a wider street. He would rather
see more green area.
Mr. Clark said that if the Planning Commission felt strongly that
they would like a 36' street in this plat, then that was what their
recommendati�n should be to the CQUncils �nd let �he Council decid� hovr
they wanted it.
Mr. Langenfcld said that he had never seen a group of busi��ss people
such as the Farr Development Corporation wh� �rere sa accommodating ta the
City, but he though� that all th� problem� on t�is �tres� should be settled
so they don't have another problem like the North Innsbruck Drive extension.
Mrs. Shea and P�rs. Wahlb��g said that they lived on a 30' street, and
there has nev�� beer� any problems with parking or the movement of traffic.
Mr. Peterson said that hE felt that the extra 5' af green area that

Mr. Langenfeld asked what width street was originally proposed for this

already a compromise, so he was agre�able to the 31'.

Mr. Bergman said he questioned the setb�cks for this p7at. Mr. Clark
said that the reason they weren't fol.lowing the 35' setback was because it
would push the units back so far that there wouldn't be any open area.
Mr. Bergman said �he problem he had was that the City of Fridley had set
up certain standards and one of those standards was that structures be
35' from the property line. He said that he didn't understand X�X�XR�X
that if a 35` setback was deened go�d in all residential districts why
this wasn'�t good for a townhouse development. Mr. Peterson said that he
was sure that the houses on Rice Creek Boulevard where he lived, were not
35' from the property line, and he assumed that this was done to preserve
the integret.ity of the
d���� back yard which ��r���X���4� to the Creek. He said that in lookin t�-�
was next �.�- �jz: �
this townhouse plan, he personally felt that the open space, t��� � at

tk�e.,�-h�,�.�-.a�-�.errt}p�ec�-�Q-�u�-�n�o-�, and the integrity of the na,�,ural landscape
and the trees, was more important than a 35' setback, because he didn't see
' setback. He said that this setback requirement
�
�
�
�
Plannin Commission Meeting of April 7, 1976(ROUGH DRAFT) Page 12
sometimes resulted in land waste, and as Will Rogers used to say, they
aren't making any more of it. He said that the way this plat was being
developed was good sound planni.ng.
Mr. Clark said that the difference in a residential development and
a townhouse deve7opment was that there were no setback requirements in
the �ownhouse ordinance. He said the only reason the setback requirements
applied to part of this plat was because there was going to be a public
street to meet the F.H.A. requirements. If this was a private street, the
35' setbac!� would not apply�. Mr. Rergman said he didn't think it was right
not to have setback requirments for townhouses. Mr. G'fark said then the.
code would have to be changed.
Mre LangEnfel� sai� that in Sectjon 205�051 of �he Code it s�ates"Fo�
other uses, other than dwel1ing units, permitted uses and uses require:i�g
a special use permit, requirem�r�ts as to lotss setbacks, buildin�ss parking,
landscaping screening, and exte�ior materials shall be at least co�parable
to simi�ar uses in other dist�icts, but also subject to additional provisions
as provided by the City." He thought the Planning Commission would be the
one to establish the additional provislons and therefore we can eliminate
the 35' setback.
Mr. Harris said that he felt that the proposal tears u-p less landscape
than if it ha� to have a 35' setback. He said that i� this dev�lopment was
held to a 35' setback it would jus� destroy the natural characteristics of
ihe area.. He said that in his travels through the townhouse areas that have
already been completed that the Farr Corporation has done an excellen� job.
He said they have done an excellent job of fitting the structures into the
landscape. He said the proposed plan was the best way to fit the units into
the existing.landscape without tearing up everything. He said he did not
favor a 0' setback on a public street because if a small error was made, a
structure cou7d encroach in the public right of way, but with a 5' setback
�

this shouldn't happen.

Mr. Harris said that at this time he would like to make a statement
, to the City Administration, before we vote. As we are allowing a 31'
street in this development he felt it was incumbent upon the City Eng9neering
'' Department to treat evErybody else in town equally as fair, and it was
not necessary, t�ew�efore, that ever.y frontage stre�t be 36' wide in the
I� � rest of the City. Mr. Clark said ther°e was a street being built this
year that wouldn't be 36' rrfide. Mr. Harris said he objected to that
'
because he felt i� was arbitrary. Mro Clark said that as he said before;
�
'
�
�
it might not be logical, but ther� was logic behind these decisions. He
said this was in the Leif Henrikson plat ofif of East River Road. There
just isn't enoush room to provide for 50' right nf way and a 36' stree�.
Mr. Harris said that if they were going to pave Riverview Terrace and
it was 36' wide, he would have to pay for that. Mr. Clark said not
necessarily because there was a Public Hearing before any impravement
was ordered in. He felt that if an entire block saia they did not want
a 36' street, it would not be or°dered in. Mr. Harris said that in the
tten year street plan, which must be almost completed, he felt that the
attitude was to take it the way it was proposed, regardless. He said he
�, felt�th� City, the staff and the Engineening Gepartment had been arbitrary,
in the meting out of street widths, and assessments and he felt it had
been unfairly administered and he thought he could find 30,000 people who
would agree with him.
UP4N A VOIGE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

6431 UNIVERSITY AVENUE NE
ANOKA COUNTY
560.3450
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432
February 23, 1976
Honorable Mayor William Nee and City Council Members:
Dear Bi11,
The Charter Commission, after the Council's review of the sug-
gested changes last year, held a series of ineetings, discussions,
taking into our deliberations the input of the Council and other
civic organizations, and we are proposing the changes attached.
These changes, we believe, will meet most of the previous objec-
tions raised, and in all cases we feel better clarification of
the intent of the change. Many of the section changes �are minor
and are only to make sections consistent with every other.
SECTION 6.05,6.06 - The changes are from dollar amounts to amounts
authorized by state statute without a dollar figure, so the Char-
ter can always be in tune with statutes.
SECTION 10.05, 10.06, & 10.09 - Adds "franchisee" to the public
utility which should cover present and future needs of the city.
Mr. Virgil Herrick has reviewed these proposed changes and finds
them proper with regard to the legal points.
Bi11, it is the hope of the Commission that the Council would
concur with our proposed changes and pass the necessary ordinance
to put the changes into effect. However, any proposed changes
that the Council does not act upon, the Commission will put on
this fall's election ballo.t. After the changes are accepted by
the Council or the voters, a new up-to-date Charter can be
printed. We understand that there are not many copies of the
present Charter in existence.
Bill, when the Council sets the date for the hearing on these
proposed changes, if the Commission members can be notified of
the date, many of the members could be in attendance. If you
or members of the Council have any questions, feel free to give
me a call.
Yo�rs truly,
l��� .
